mitt romney won and we said that last night. we established it yard. but -- beyond a reasonable doubt. romney could have really gone n the last -- he had the last word. all right in the last word is big and he won the coin flip and not too many people know this but when lehrer flipped the coin he sprained his wrist, all right? he tough it out. it played with the pain throughout the whole thing. now, what romney should have done was after all of this he should have looked at the camera and said you know what? i'm glad we're here tonight because this is the most important exposition that i have seen. you saw two people here. one who wants free market capitalism and the other who wants communism or whatever you want to label it. all right? say this is really really vital and just gone right in because he had him but he didn't knock him to the canvas. you say? >> mitt knew that he had creamed him and was actually being charitable, i think. >> bill: at the end he didn't want? that's not really how you knock him out. >> who chose to go first? did obama choos

i think it was a good night for mitt romney. i think he came across with force. i think the focus groups show that the impact was in his favor but not as much as the pundit on the cable tv and the news shows said it was. all that said, you know, the first debate won't be as important as the second debate which wouldn't be important as the third debate. i think there's memberty of time for the president to come out with a different approach. i think there's plenty of time for mitt romney to revert back to the -- [inaudible] he was before the night of the debate. >> host: republican from colorado. >> caller: yes, mr. corner. thank you so much for taking my call. [inaudible] i know you want to answer each thing i say. but takes away from my time. you can answer me after wards, if you will please. [inaudible] if you can't go -- we -- [inaudible] [inaudible] we all don't make our points about the way -- [inaudible] do it right now. i'm kind of nervous. but you can say that really are the truth in the base of them. and i think most of americans out there -- [inaudible]
